GT-4 vs GT, extra HP in GT-4 Options

[popstar]

You Guy's know all about weight and power ratio's and stuff like that !

so is a stock GT-4 really any more powerful than stock GT ?

A GT-4 has 250 ish bhp ! but the extra weight of the fwd running gear and the extra effort required to drive four wheels,
over just two wheels a stock GT (SS III) at 210 ish bhp !

i'm probable so wrong but i think the GT has got more power on the road..

So many guy's out here think the GT-4 four is such a quick car, and are supprised when (with my bad driving and such),there's not much in a head to head with a SS III.

I raced one of the lights the other week with no real conclusion due to trafffic and road conditions and care of our cars !!!!!

on paper in a straight drag, what are the facts, who will be quickest ??

anyone know ??

No disrespect to any non GT4 owners but to be honest the non turbo celicas get wasted. There is none of this getting off the line better or catching up at a higher speed or the GT4 is not pulling away anymore stuff . The GT4 (bear in mind im talking about a ST205) gets off the line better and WILL continue to pull away all the way to the top speed. I hope I dont offend anyone by what i have said but lets face it, the GT4 was built for acceleration, its a rally car!
But I do think it will be a lot closer in with a ST185 as they are very heavy and less powerful than a ST205
